My Belmont Analysis

[blackthroatedwind]

I think for the most part there is a very answerable reason why horses run well and why they run poorly. I prefer to use logic.

Agree, but lets say that Saturday that Curlin gets a perfect trip and just doesn't fire, wouldn't an arguable conculsion be that 3 efforts in 7 weeks has taken a toll, thus regressing due to tiredness

We'll have that discussion after that improbable event occurs.

I love how my posts always seem to turn into a debate between two other posters, often having nothing to do with my original post.

Do I get extra points for that?

This is a very common occurence on a public board.
Parlimentary procedure is not followed. We dont wear white wigs.
No points or soup for you.

And then there is Morton. Who for some unknown reason just pesters and never adds a word about horses.
The moderators have apparently found his need for attention amusing. A public board...
Maybe I should say a moderator. And he has not killed anyone yet.

Unless we get a mod who wants to rule with an iron fist....and keep everything on-topic ('Sup PA) it's going to be like that.

It doesn't bother me or anything. It's actually pretty entertaining. Personality is a good thing.

If you did you would have lost double for the final remark.

There is the possibility of this horse actually improving imo. He was a bit behind to begin with, and he might have actually become physically more mature. This is a possibility, I dont care about what sheets say.

So:
1. Get better (not mentioned)
2. Same Curlin
3. Tired, regression
